“LU’s strong determination and outstanding achievements in providing the highest possible quality teaching and learning, research environment, experiential learning experience and all other supports to students from all backgrounds have again been recognised and acknowledged by the international community,” says Prof Leonard K Cheng, President of LU. “For this, we are very proud, and determined to keep up our work fulfilling the needs of our students and society in general.”
